       | Its incredible to me we're allowing anything shorter than 6
       | digits. How many of these are going to be 1234 or 4321? I suspect
       | a large number.

       | If this is for anti-theft I don't see why Apple doesn't implement
       | a better system. I'm always shocked to hear about iphones
       | constantly getting stolen. Apple needs better ways to mark
       | something stolen thus unsalable.
